SFNode [in, out] metadata NULL [X3DMetadataObject]

Metadata are not part of the X3D world and not interpreted by the X3D browser, but they can be accessed via the ECMAScript interface.

SFFloat [in, out] ambientIntensity 0.2 [0,1]

How much ambient omnidirectional light is reflected from all light sources. Interchange profile hint: this field may be ignored, applying the default value regardless.

SFColor [in, out] diffuseColor 0.8 0.8 0.8 [0,1]

How much direct, angle-dependent light is reflected from all light sources.

Hints

Only emissiveColor affects IndexedLineSet, LineSet and PointSet. If a texture is present the diffuseColor is always multiplied with the texture color, in contrast to the specification. Set diffuseColor to (1 1 1) to get maximum texture color intensity.

SFColor [in, out] specularColor 0 0 0 [0,1]

Specular highlights are brightness reflections (example: shiny spots on an apple). Interchange profile hint: this field may be ignored, applying the default value regardless.

SFColor [in, out] emissiveColor 0 0 0 [0,1]

How much glowing light is emitted from this object.

Hints

EmissiveColors glow even when all lights are off. Reset diffuseColor from default (.8 .8 .8) to (0 0 0) to avoid washout. Only emissiveColor affects IndexedLineSet, LineSet and PointSet.

Warning

Bright emissiveColor values can wash out other colors and some textures.

SFFloat [in, out] shininess 0.2 [0,1]

Lower shininess values provide soft specular glows, while higher values result in sharper, smaller highlights. Interchange profile hint: this field may be ignored, applying the default value regardless.

SFFloat [in, out] transparency [0,1]

How "clear" an object is: 1.0 is completely transparent, 0.0 is completely opaque.

Interchange profile hint:

Transparency < .5 opaque, transparency > .5 transparent.

Hint

If a texture is present the transparency is always multiplied with the texture's transparency, in contrast to the specification. Set transparency to (0) to get a full opaque texture color.
